Arshavin To Take Pay Cut To Join Arsenal

La Bomba · Jan 7, 2009

The Premier League side are moving closer to an accord with the player's club, Zenit St Petersburg, and a fee is expected to be struck at a considerably lower figure than Arshavin's market value in the summer.

The economic downturn has left clubs with more modest budget constraints and Zenit are likely to accept less than £20 million for the 27-year-old.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, the global credit crunch has also led Arshavin to the decision to accept a lower wage at the Emirates than what was on offer at the Petrovsky Stadium.

The St Petersburg-born star currently has his contract arranged to be paid in euros rather than roubles, and with the varying fortunes of the euro and the sterling, Arshavin is thought to be ready to seek reduced terms at Arsene Wenger's side.

Estimates put Arshavin's wage in the €70,000 bracket, a sum which is unlikely to be commanded at Arsenal.

As such, the player is ready to knock down his price.

I heard he was on €100,000 at Zenit, well considering a the moment that probably equals £97,000 then a pay cut would be necessary as Adebayor is on £80,000 a week
